<p>The <a href="http://www.mumsnet.com/surveys/parents-baby-name-regret" target="_blank">Mumsnet</a> survey was released in advance of the release of annual statistics from the Office of National Statistics on the <a href="https://www.yourdaysout.com/news/top-50-popular-baby-names-in-uk-revealed-1671">most popular baby names of 2015&nbsp;in England and Wales.</a></p>

<p>The main reason most parents started regretting a name is because it became too common. Others reasons included &ldquo;it just didn&rsquo;t feel right,&rdquo; they &ldquo;never liked the name but had been pressured into using it,&rdquo; it just didn&rsquo;t suit their child, it was not unique enough, or it was hard to pronounce.</p>

<p>According to the survey one mother said&nbsp;she began to regret naming her daughter &#39;Elsa&#39; after the release of the Disney film Frozen.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Another parent admitted her child was named &#39;Isis&#39;&nbsp;before it became the name of a terrorist group.</p>
